Not only that but it is amazing to me how the MSM of the entire planet is buying this bullshit! You telling me the US military, the same bunch that files EVERYTHING in triplicate, didn't take any pics of the body? Which they just so happened to bury at sea so you can't even do an autopsy to see if it is the right guy or if he was a little moldy, like say, ohh I don't know, he has been dead since 2004?

Maybe if every blogger starts screaming bullshit we might get some answers but I have a feeling short of a P

I can see numerous reasons not to post the photos, at least not immediately:

Why provide further material for you enemies to use to help recruit even more people to their cause?

The burial at sea could be used to identify the vessel (or at least type/class) - from there, knowing the class, and which ships of that class are in the area, identify the crew. Again, any photos or video would have to be sanitized - and then the tinfoil brigade would shout "fake"!

Yes, it must be. All my posts were at -1 earlier, it would seem that there are troll moderators as well as posters. Seriously, I started this fully expecting to be punished severely, and to be honest, I'm probably doing better than if I'd been Karma-whoring!

I like cowgirl, its nice and leaves your hands free for lots of naughty touching. You do have to be careful if you girl has nice large breasts though, as you'd be surprised how heavy a female breast can be and head injuries are never sexy.

As for TFA, is this even news? I remember the same crap back in the late 80s with that Wall Street crash, Black Tuesday or whatever its called. "Spamers use headlines" news at 11. They did the same with Katrina, they did the same with the start of the war in Iraq, they d

Everything is used to spread malware. So Osama rates up there with child porn, penis enlargment, hair loss, belly fat, viagra, cheap drugs, and people wishing to deposit millions of dollars into your bank account?

And I'll LMAO if this comment gets modded "Informative". Sillier things have happened on/. - I'm pretty sure that the mod system is a placebo for the users, and that it's really a random number generator, or some of the pigeons from PageRank moonlighting...

You forgot Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, "new and shocking" footage of Lady Di's crash (which should get some traction again due to the british royal wedding), and of course all the fake reports on various entertainers' deaths. Poor Britney Spears died almost every week before I finally got my spam filter up and running.

Mr Obama said it was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat the hydra. We can all rest safe now."

A US official said the hydra's head had been buried at sea, to prevent the grave becoming a shrine. "But trust us — we got the actual hydra, all right. You know how good we are with getting this stuff right."

After I heard the news on the radio on the drive into work. I was expecting some SPAM dealing with this. Whether it be a chain letter or links to bogus sites with promises of the picture. Guess I'm more of a realist than a cynic.

My colleague is an internet marketer. After hearing about Osama's death, he quickly made an 'Osama Bin Laden is dead' fan page and monetized off of it. Bought a domain relating to the page and then setup a CPA (cost per action) advertisement, one of those content blocker things. Him and I also did the same following Michael Jackon's death. He has made quite a living off of it, just by spamming social networking sites and users are duped by their own stupidity.
